Please join us for this journey through artist-run spaces of Chapel Hill and Raleigh NC, Chattanooga and Nashville TN... with a detour through Charlottesville VA!
We’ve (Curators: Julie Torres & Ellen Letcher) culled this show from our visits with artists who have founded and/or run uniquely situated and inventively programmed labors of love, exhibiting the work of fellow artists in attics, basements, sheds, faculty offices, former meat packing plants... and traditional white boxes, too.
Also on view are works from Drawing and Painting majors at the University of TN, Chattanooga who we met through Christina Renfer Vogel’s curatorial project Office Space, in which Vogel installs exhibitions in her faculty office and hallways. This initiative has inspired her students to devise their own artist-run projects and plans, so we’ve jumped at the chance to fan those flames.
LABspace was founded by artist Susan Jennings in 2014, and we took the reins in 2018. We met SJ in 2015 at DIY anti-fair ARTIST-RUN at Satellite Art Show in Miami (curated by Tiger Strikes Asteroid). Without TSA’s ARTIST-RUN project, we would not have met SJ or her wonderful space, which is now our curatorial home. We are so indebted to our own local community of artists who show, promote, and support fellow artists. Please come celebrate this necessary and enduring tradition!

Precious Moment & more at Attic 506 Friday, March 8, 6-9pm
Attic 506 (new name for the Art Studios at 506A W. Franklin Street, 2nd floor)
open for 2nd Friday Art Walk in Chapel Hill:
March 8, 6-9pm
Featuring:
A hallway show by Brenda Goldstein (Durham) showing a series that explores her relation to space, color and light rendered in architectonic lines and curves in acrylic pencil & crayon.
Sourcing imagery from production sets, kitsch crafts, and prop designs, April Childers will present new paintings and sculptures in a show titled ‘Precious Moment’ at ‘My Room,’ Amanda Barr’s rotating exhibition space. Combining the principle of the carrot and the stick with gentle notions of instructional painting, mouse excrement and chintzy object references, the exhibition will be displayed as a ‘looping still’, taken from a narrative cycle involving authority and the rumination of it.
The Concern Newsstand run by Orvokki Crosby (Chapel Hill) open with new artist publications in store, plus video with original music by Clark Blomquist (Carrboro) of Tegucigalpan on display and a new publication by him called ‘Instant Ham’.
The debut of Jerstin Crosby (Chapel Hill) sharing a studio with Vanessa Murray (Carrboro). Jerstin will be showing his current work with sculpture, as well as video art by David Colagiovanni (Athen, OH) from Jerstin’s long running cable access video art show, Acid Rain. Vanessa will be showing painting & mixed media work from the past & present.
Lindsay Metivier (Carrboro) will have her photo studio open. In her space will also be a table ocomix collective The Weakly Group founders Max Huffman (Carrboro) & Andrew Alexander (NY). They will be selling comics, zines, prints & stickers.
